Choose the correct indirect speech form of the following sentence.
Rohan said to Manasi, "I have no rose to give you now."

Correct option is B

The correct indirect/ direct speech is (b).
Explanation (detailed):
· Reporting verb said to → told (we don’t use “said to” in indirect; we use told + object).
· Backshift of tense because the reporting verb is in past: have (present) → had (past).
· Pronoun change: “I” → he (Rohan), “you” → her (Manasi).
· Time word change: “ now” → then.
· Conjunction that is used to introduce the reported clause.
· Thus: Rohan told Manasi that he had no rose to give her then.
· Rules of conversion (key points):
1) Said to + object → told + object.
2) Present (simple/continuous/perfect) → Past (simple/continuous/perfect) when the reporting verb is past.
3) Pronouns/time/place words shift to match viewpoint (now→then, today→that day, here→there).
Example: She said to me, “I have no money now.” → She told me that she had no money then.
Why other options are wrong:
· (a) has (present) after a past reporting verb—tense mismatch.
· (c) had had implies past perfect (a completed past before another past), which isn’t implied; original is simple present have.
· (d) Keeps now, which must change to then in indirect speech with past reporting.
